The Sugarland Express (Loca Evasión) – 1974 Original Argentine One-Sheet Movie Poster | Steven Spielberg’s Directorial Debut | Goldie Hawn

Offered here is an original 1974 Argentine one-sheet movie poster for The Sugarland Express (Loca Evasión), the first theatrical feature directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Goldie Hawn, Ben Johnson, and William Atherton. This early work marked the emergence of one of cinema’s most influential directors, blending tension, humanity, and Americana in a gripping cross-country chase film.

The Argentine artwork presents a distinctive visual style rarely seen in U.S. campaigns—hand-illustrated with bold composition, warm earthy tones, and dynamic typography. The design captures both the kinetic energy of the film’s chase sequences and the emotional core of a young couple on the run. As an international variant, it reflects Latin America’s unique graphic interpretation of 1970s Hollywood cinema.

This poster measures the standard one-sheet size (approx. 27” x 41”) and is folded, as originally issued. Condition shows typical fold lines and slight edge wear, with the back bearing visible aging and some browning. As a collectible, it holds special appeal for Spielberg completists and fans of Goldie Hawn, representing the launch of a major director’s career and a defining road movie of its era.
